No country on earth is exempt from ruthless power mongers who buy and sell violence and destruction on a daily basis. Humankind is overwhelmed with chaos. This story of an American warrior in love with a Sufi woman is a standout, thanks to William Hathaway's exceptional writing style.
The harm we do others always comes back to us. No one understands that cosmic law better than Jeff Madsen. Madsen is a Vietnam era veteran still haunted by his experiences there. His position as U.S. State Department Foreign Aid officer in Kyrgyzstan is playing politics and little else. His marriage is in shambles. His job is a balancing act, placating the Russian and Kyrgyz military while trying not to offend Muslim potentates. When terrorists steal a weapon of mass destruction, Jeff's warrior instincts resurface.
Cholpon is a Sufi sister in her mid thirties. She lives in a remote mountainous area of Kyrgyzstan and has survived
communism and Muslim mullahs who despise the Sufis. For fifteen years she's learned to harness transcendental meditation and astral channeling to strengthen her chakras. Cholpon meets her karma head on in the person of Jeff Madsen, who shows up on her doorstep bleeding from a terrorist attack nearby. She soon becomes a loving spark of life to a heart Jeff thought was dead.
Learning the Sufi way of harmony and peace transforms the warrior. He understands such peaceful unterventions may be the only chance Earth has of surviving endless war. When Cholpon and her gentle sisters locate the stolen atomic warhead, Jeff fears for their survival. Will the Sufi's peaceful interventions or man's warring nature save millions from destruction?
This touching love story is also a modern day adventure thriller that blends Sufi mystics, militant terrorists, metaphysical mysteries, and double dealing men of every nationality in surprising ways. This is a true picture of the world we live in as it is, and as it could be if lasting love
and peace were possible.
